Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU82064
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.

2) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
EUVDB-ID: #VU70334
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717
CWE-ID:
CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.
